In English: Lately, I've been more into making YouTube videos than writing traditional blog posts. Don't worry, I'm not going to quit blogging, as I know many people like to read my blog posts but they're not that interested in videos. But I wanted to say a few words about YouTube and why I like filming these videos so much.First of all, it's fun. Once you get the hang of it, editing is quite enjoyable. To be honest, YouTube (just like this blog) has been a massively empowering experience for me. I feel so much more confident than I did just a few months ago. Having the courage to put a video of yourself online for all the world to see is a rush, and seeing the way my body looks when I move and talk has also been eye-opening for me. I used to think that I only looked pretty when I posed in a carefully considered manner, with my mouth closed and my body positioned so that you could only see my "best" side. Also, I used to hate listening to my recorded voice, ugh! However, after starting on YouTube, I've began to realize that the things that I considered silly and unflattering - like my smile, my little laughs and gestures - are actually kind of cute. They are part of who I am. The second main reason why I enjoy YouTube is the feedback. Now, I've never blogged to get thousands of followers and comments. I've blogged because it makes me happy. But I can't deny that likes, views and comments make me feel good. Just like blog comments do. There's nothing better than when a fellow plus-size woman comments telling me that I have inspired her and made her feel more confident. Hearing that makes me so, so happy, whether it happens on YouTube, here on the blog, on Instagram or in real life.

The point of this post is not to bash traditional blogging. On the contrary. This blog is everything to me; it has given me so much, including the confidence to get into Instagram and YouTube. This is where it all began, and it's still my number one creative outlet. As I said, I'm not going to quit, and I'm not going to post any less than I did before. However, YouTube is now one part of the social media "world" I've built around this blog and, like it or not, it will reflect on the blog as well from time to time. For instance, when I do an outfit post, I might link to a video where you can how the outfit looks like when I move around in it. Of course, you don't have to watch it if you're not interested, and you can still just read the blog posts and ignore all YouTube stuff.Anyway, for those of you who ARE interested, here are my latest videos. One is a lookbook showcasing my favorite dresses of the moment, and the other two are clothing hauls.
